  Why?  This concept will require very specific (likely branded) client
software, and likely be encoded in an easily detectable manner.  Like my
own filters that trap messages from Outlook with any type of attachment
and toss them into a folder called 'outhouse', these messages can be
filtered or bounced immediately.

  In other words: If you want to put DRM on your email, I can configure my
email servers to bounce the messages as undeliverable.
